I'm so sorry to hear that, Ann. My condolences to you, salsadude, n' the kid. The Gabster truly was one of the sweetest dogs I ever met.
Sorry for your pain. It was good you were there til the end. Knowing you were there was a great comfort to him, I'm sure of that.
A loved pet is a family member. Very hard to deal with the the loss. So sorry to hear about this. That pet had the bestest home he/she would had ever had. You were the best at providing the best home that animal ever had.
